Chapong vs Fly.io
Fly.io runs your apps as lightweight virtual machines in regions around the world. Chapong is simpler and more focused: git-push deploys of sites and Node apps, with previews and rollbacks, on a server you own.
Where they differ
General differences in approach, as of 2026. Fly.io changes its products and plans over time, so check its own documentation for current details.
| Chapong | Fly.io | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your apps run | On a dedicated server provisioned for you, or on Chapong’s shared pool | On Fly.io’s machines, in the regions you pick |
| Where data and logs live | On the server that runs your site | On Fly.io’s infrastructure |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly plans; own-server plans include the server | Usage-based, per Fly.io’s published pricing |
| How you deploy | Git push, upload or the CLI; the framework is detected | Its CLI, usually from a container image |
| Preview deploys | Yes, a URL per pull request with a commit status | Set up yourself, for example in CI |
| Database | One-click Da8a backend: Postgres, auth, storage and functions, Supabase-compatible | Postgres offerings and other data services |
| Multi-region | Not the focus: one server you own | A core part of the platform |
Fly.io may suit you better if…
- You need your app running in many regions close to users
- You want low-level control with containers and machines
- Your app isn’t a website or Node app
Chapong may suit you better if…
- You want git-push deploys and pull-request previews without writing CI
- You prefer a flat price that includes the server
- You want your code, logs and data on a server you control
- You want auth and storage alongside Postgres in one click
Moving a project over
- Create a site from the same repository; check the detected framework, build command and output folder.
- Copy your environment variables into the site’s production, preview or shared scopes.
- Deploy a preview and test it before switching any traffic.
- Set the build and start commands in the site settings; Chapong builds from your repository rather than your Fly configuration.
- Add your domain, point DNS at the target Chapong shows, and HTTPS is issued automatically.
